    Looks like a little Mexican kitchen even the tables give you that vibe it's a little hole in the wall just a quick stop to pick up something for the road since I was making a delivery next door I ordered 3 tacos and a coke the Asada taco was super greasy and the 2 alpastos were basically adobada meat not alpastor and they were greasy also besides it being less then $11 bucks the best thing was the ice cold coke definitely won't be coming back

    Caldo de camarón y Mole!

    First time here, the food was amazing I had caldo de camarón and my husband had mole it was delish. Even the salsa and chips where tasty! I had agua de piña y naranja fresca really good. My hubby had a café de olla it was delish too! Definitely coming here agin to taste the rest of the menu. Recommend if you like authentic Mexican food!

    Hice un a orden por teléfono y me dejaron un mensaje en el buzón diciéndome cosas. Por comida bien cara no deben de portarse así. Si no quise recoger la orden no la hubiera hecho. Muy mal servicio.

    Limonada de pepino y chía

    This place is so good!! Great coffee, Aguas frescas, delicious food & tortillas hecha a mano. 10/10

    Chilaquiles verdes

    I first discovered this little gem about 2 years ago after having grown up in Paramount! Idk how I missed it but glad I finally found it! Lol. Here's what I loved about this place: Their cute colorful Mexican decor and of course, the delicious food. I particularly enjoy the chilaquiles verdes which come with rice, beans, & a tasty little quesadilla made with a handmade tortilla! Haven't tried the red bc the staff advised the green are less spicy, lol. The portions are big! I did notice the prices have gone up but really that's everywhere nowadays and at least they give you a good amount of food for the price! They served me and my friend about 5 minutes after we ordered! That's definitely a win for me! Also, they serve you not only chips & salsa but yummy frijoles to dip your chips in too! Their dishes are actual Mexican clay designed which give your pictures that extra authentic look! Nothing like some cafe de olla served in an authentic little Mexican mug. I'm also glad they now have indoor seating again too, but if it's a nice day, their outdoor patio is nice to sit in also. I'm now a regular customer.

    Such a great place for authentic Mexican food!! A little more on the expensive side but it's because the plates are enough for two people. Start you off with chips salsa and beans!!! Service is quick and tortillas are homemade. Definitely a good spot in paramount!

    Costco salsa w no flavor

    Went there for breakfast and their prices have skyrocketed. I ordered chilaquiles w eggs and carne al gusto. I asked the waitress instead of carne asada could I do chorizo she said yes. I asked for a cafe de olla. The food came and it came w the carne asada and gave me a piece of chorizo on the side ‍ then the coffee came and it was like sock water not strong at all. But the thing that pissed me off the most was the fact that the salsa they are using are not home made they are the salsas I get from costco...todas aguadas y sin flavor and they used the green salsa for my chilaquiles. If they are going to charge $26 for the chilaquiles at least make ur own salsa. So for the chilaquiles 1 coffee and the side of chorizo it was $41 bucks. Never again I'm very disappointed.

Entered the restaurant which we were greeted and seated. The host gave us some waters and stated that our server will be here in a few minutes. A few minutes passed, our server handed us some tortilla chips and salsa. I ordered a Campechana cocktail which had a mixture of shrimp and octopus. Ordered a Lengua taco and chicken Mole. Ordered some alcoholic drinks as well. Received our food within 15 minutes. All was very good! No complaints on the taste of food. All was delicious. Pros: -Happy Hour drinks were decent -Plenty of parking -Clean Restaurant which felt old fashion -Live music is available Cons: -Had to keep calling our waitress over to assist us. -Seafood Cocktail was very expensive! Other Restaurants that tasted as good or better would average up to $16-$19. This place charges you $27 which I believe is too overpriced for some seafood cocktail. Dishes were above average pricing. Overall: Wouldn't me my first Mexican go to place due the expensive price for dishes and Seafood and it would not be the last to visit. This place had a good vibe. Ambiance was straight old fashion to the punch. A real Mexican joint without old school vibes.

They are located in Bellflower and have street parking and a couple spots behind the restaurant. I don't think I saw indoor seating, but they definitely have outdoor seating. There was a small line and others showed up after, definitely is a hotspot! There were plenty of people eating in their cars in the parking lot too! I ordered the Yandy taco with Carne Asada and their agua frescas are homemade. I got the cucumber lime. The food was out in less than 10 minutes and I was excited to try it so I dined in my car. I asked for their spiciest salsa, which was the red one. First off the drink is delicious and not too sweet. I would love to try their other flavors. I believe they had Horchata, Jamaica and pineapple. The taco was delicious, it's like your typical crunchy American taco but better! It's no Taco Bell! They were generous with the toppings, and I will say that the cashier was friendly and explain to me the difference between their regular country taco and the Yandy, which comes with the works - sour cream, lettuce, generous amount of yellow cheese, and meat. The red sauce was perfect for that taco. I would say these tacos need to be eaten immediately so they don't get soggy. Now I get why people are eating in their car. I will definitely be coming back and spreading the word. They have great combo packs too that are great for a potluck or dinner night. Great spot!

My husband and I came here pretty late, I would've liked to try their churros and other desserts that looks super delicious, but wasn't feeling it when we visited. We just opted to get a large horchata to share. I was not really a fan. Their horchata is super, super freaking sweet. I've definitely had better horchata elsewhere. The price and quantity is fair I think, but I'll have to try other things on their menu to see if just the horchata is not to my taste. Interior is very clean and spacious. This place is very well decorated, with art and merchandise around the store. However, it took quite a while before my order was taken even when no one was in front of me. Kind of just awkwardly stood there and took my phone out because no one came to take my order. Service was nice though when someone finally came over to take my order, and I got my drink really quick. There's a little bit of parking available, you may have an issue grabbing a spot on a typical day I think. There is a convenient drive-thru though. Will try to check this place out again whenever I'm nearby, I'm hoping other drinks will be better.
